Hostgator Hosting Plans
HostGator is one of the leading website hosting companies in the world. With unlimited disk space and bandwidth, free support and a plethora of other features, all packages will more than suffice your needs. However, if you don’t have extended needs such as for an ecommerce site, then the starter packages Hatchling and Baby should be more than enough. Here is a comparison of the Baby Plan vs. the Hatchling Plan, which will enable you to choose the one that best suits your needs.
Disk space, bandwidth and domains
Both the Baby Plan and the Hatchling Plan provide you with unlimited disk space and bandwidth. What this means is that no matter your website’s needs, you will not lack either space or bandwidth. The former will ensure that you can add as many elements as you want to your website, while the latter will ensure that, no matter how many clients want to browse your website, there will be no problems in terms of bandwidth.
While both plans are similar in terms of disk space and bandwidth, they are different in terms of the number of domains allowed. While the starter Hatchling plan will only provide you with one domain, the Baby Plan will allow you to have as many domains as you want.
Package details
The good news is that no matter what plan you choose, you get all the features from HostGator in this department. Both the Hatchling and the Baby plan will ensure that you benefit from 24 x 7 support, so no matter what technical or performance issue you have, you can always turn to the HostGator IT staff to help you out.
With these starter plans you will also get instant backups so that no data will be lost in case your operating system crashes or you are experiencing an outage. Neither of these two plans will require signing a contract, and the best part is that you will get your money back guaranteed if you discover within 45 days’ time that these plans are not what you need. Both of these plans will guarantee 99.9% uptime, and you will get $100 credit after spending $25. You’ll also get free instant setup, regardless if you choose the Hatchling or the Baby plan.
Domain and FTP features
In this department, the Baby plan is a bit better than the Hatchling plan. With the former you get an unlimited amount of addon or parked domains, while with the latter, you will get none. Neither the Baby nor the Hatchling plan will provide you with anonymous FTP, although both offer unlimited sub domains and FTP accounts.
Supported web hosting features
Both the Baby and the Hatchling plans will provide you with an unlimited number of MySQL Databases, so you can trust HostGator to offer you enough tools to manage all your data. Among features supported by the Baby and Hatchling plan are WordPress hosting, PHP 5, SSH, Perl, Python, FrontPage, Image Magick, Streaming audio and video and free module installation. In this category both plans offer the same features.
Email hosting
In terms of e-mail hosting, both the Baby and Hatchling plans will provide you with an unlimited amount of POP3 accounts. You will also get web mail, email alias, mailing lists, spam assassin, mail forwarding and several other email features on both the Baby and Hatchling plans.
Control panel features
When it comes to control panel features, both the Hatchling and the Baby plans will provide you with a great deal of control over your website. You will have a lot of flexibility when setting up your website and you will also benefit from things such as instant blogs, portals, forums, counter, guestbook, etc. You will also get hotlink protection, redirect URL and web based file manager. In terms of e-commerce features, neither of the plans is specialized towards this although you get several features and dedicated IP with the Baby plan if you pay an additional $2 per month.
Cost
The Hatchling plan starts from $3.96 per month while the Baby plan will cost starting from $6.36 per month, these prices reflecting 20% off first invoice and a 3 year plan.
So choose the plan that suits your needs the most, and don’t forget to use your HostGator coupon codes for greater discounts.
